Summary

Dennis King Enterprises requested two setback variances for a corner lot at 621 Dyer Bridge Road (reduce rear setback from 35 ft to 15 ft and side setback from 25 ft to 15 ft) to allow more parking; council read ordinances 2026‑26 and 2026‑27 at first reading and will vote June 1.

The council held first readings for ordinances 2026‑26 and 2026‑27, which together request two zoning variances for tax parcel 0013B‑03400A (621 Dyer Bridge Road). Both requests were presented as coming from Dennis King Enterprises.

At the podium, Dennis King said the property is constrained by lot geometry and the owner seeks to reduce the rear setback from 35 feet to 15 feet and the side setback from 25 feet to 15 feet to permit additional parking, possibly a double row where only a single row exists today. King said he has discussed a neighboring parcel—potentially being sold to a church—and that access is constrained by the intersection; he emphasized the intention is to create more onsite parking to support planned uses.

The items were read as first readings; the mayor reminded the public that votes cannot be held until the next meeting and scheduled a special called meeting for June 1 to consider final action.
